Damon’s POV When I woke up this morning, my head suddenly hurt a lot. My body also seemed very weak and a little cold. I don't know what's happening to me now. It seems like I have a fever. Last night, I had trouble sleeping and was a little dizzy.I knew that I would eventually drop. My strength was getting weaker after the past few days of deliberately pushing myself to work harder just to punish myself for what happened to Addison. My head was throbbing with pain again as if I couldn't take it anymore. I grabbed my cell phone and immediately called Jared. I asked him to come immediately. Otherwise, I would die right now. I didn't care about the threat I'd made to him. I wanted him to come here immediately. I sat on the edge of the bed, still clutching my head tightly. I couldn't stand it. It hurt so much. It was like a needle was stabbing my head, and it hurt so much. Moments later, Jared walked into my room without knocking first. Maybe he was frightened by my threat. "What's
Damon’s POVA few days later, after a good rest, my health had improved, and I started working at the office. I reluctantly agreed to Jared's request to rest at home for a few days. I also listened to the advice and counsel from Jared, who told me to survive and not to give up just because I felt guilty and forgotten by Addison.I'm currently busy at the office finishing up some work that was delayed while I was sick. Jared was here with me. Although there was Jared could have replaced the work, Jared could not fully handle everything and still needed my signature."Is everything done?" I asked Jared, who currently seemed focused on his laptop.Jared raised his head and looked at me while nodding his head. "Yes, Mr. Saunders. It's all done."I nodded back and stood up from my seat. My hand reached for the suit jacket on the capstok and put it on."Are you leaving, sir?"I glanced at Jared, who was still sitting in his chair. "I have a meeting with Mr. Rundolph."Jared just nodded his
Addison’s POVI'm currently standing in front of the tall mirror in my room. I'm wearing the dress that Hayden gave me the other day. Yes, tonight we are going to Hayden's business relations party. He asked me to accompany him to the party, and since I didn't want to disappoint him, I finally said yes.I'm still silent in front of the mirror. I'm thinking about someone. Damon Saunders. The figure of a man who still makes me curious about who he is. I don't know why the figure on his face always haunts me when I go to bed or when I'm silent like this. Sometimes, I've fantasized if that man was right before me, smiling and confessing something vague.I feel very strange about what I'm experiencing. When I asked Shofia, Hayden, and even my father about it, they said nothing. Because everyone around me kept their mouths shut, in the end, I searched for news about Damon Saunders, and I got some information about who that man was. It turned out that Damon Saunders was Coraline Hills' lover.
Addison’s POVI frowned in surprise at the woman's words. Meanwhile, the woman I knew to be Damon's girlfriend was still laughing and grinning. "What do you mean, Ms. Hills? Why would you say something like that?""Ah! You're just like that. Don't pretend to be naive like an innocent woman. You think I don't know anything about you."Hayden stepped closer to the woman. "You shouldn't make a scene here," he snapped at her.The woman named Cora challenged Hayden and stepped right in front of him with a sharp and cynical look in her eyes. "You think I'm scared? I won't be scared because Damon is by my side."Because of Damon? Oh, of course, it was because she was Damon's girlfriend from the article I read earlier. One thing I was still wondering was, what exactly was the conflict between Damon and Hayden, those women and me?"You need to behave yourself and not talk out of turn," Hayden said again to Cora.After saying that to Cora, Hayden took my hand to leave. Maybe we'd stay away from
Addison’s POVI enjoyed the party well and was lucky not to see the couple again. In the middle of the party, my mind was still filled with Damon and Cora. There were a lot of questions in my head about them, but I wasn't going to ask Hayden about it. It's not that I don't want to believe it. It's just that Hayden seems to be trying to hide something from me. It wasn't just Hayden either, but Shofia and Dad were the same who didn't want to talk much about what I was asking. Therefore, I tried to find out about Damon again, whether it had anything to do with me.While Hayden was chatting with the other guests, I took the time to open my phone and search for information about Damon. However, after I searched and found no news related to Damon and me, in all the articles I read, it only said that Damon was Coraline Hills' lover. They're even getting married soon. Wouldn't it be weird if Cora told me that I was trying to take Damon away from her? However, another article said that Damon a
Addison’s POVI opened my eyes slowly. I didn't know how long I had been unconscious. I don't understand why, in the image that I glimpsed earlier, Damon was calling my name while smiling. Even more surprising was that our hands were holding each other. It made me feel extraordinary. Why were we so close? I didn't remember him at all or even know him.The headache I felt earlier was getting less and less, and I realized my head was in Hayden's lap. It was only then that I opened my eyes wide. I could see that Hayden was looking at me with concern."Addison, are you okay?" Hayden asked in a worried tone. "Do we have to go to the doctor?" He wondered again, still with his anxious look.I shook my head and chose to sit back down. Hayden helped me to get up. I felt that my condition had improved, and the headache that had attacked me earlier was no longer there. I didn't understand. The last few days, I had been refined and never felt a headache. But now the headache came back to attack m
Damon’s POVI stopped my car right at Cora's residence. Yes, I very reluctantly had to drive her home, avoiding the commotion at the party, which would lead to embarrassment. The party wasn't over yet, and I didn't expect Cora to be there either. She shouldn't have been there because what she did to Addison made me angry. How could she still assume that we were lovers?"You see if Addison is already with Mr. Clarke. Why are you defending her again?" Cora is back to babbling again.Throughout the trip, she always talked insultingly about Addison, and I didn't respond. She doesn't have to do that anyway since we're already separated. Even though she doesn't accept my decision and I don't care. I was so sick of hearing her voice. At first, I didn't want to drive her home and opted to just order a taxi for her, but all she did was throw a tantrum, and I was worried it would be embarrassing.Cora turned to me, who never responded to her words. "Damon, you don't have to do anything to Addis
Damon’s POVI poured the alcoholic drink into the glass to the brim and downed it immediately. And I did it over and over again. I needed this drink to calm my mind and emotions towards Cora a bit. That woman just makes me upset and dizzy. I didn't know how to stop it.It seemed like this time, I was no longer thinking about Cora but Addison and Hayden, who came to the party together. Actually, before Cora came, I had already seen Addison and Hayden. However, I purposely didn't go to her and just watched them from afar. I feel that the relationship between Addison and Hayden is getting closer and seems very suitable. Yes, they look like a lovely couple.But, deep down inside, I refused to call them a couple. I want Addison to be happy, but I also wish for Addison to come back to me again. It feels unwilling if Addison is with another man who is not me. I don't know what I'm feeling right now. I just want Addison to return to me. No matter if I'm selfish, I just want to make her happy
